Re: Kelly's BT Openreach Engineers

This message is directed to shoot2thrill. I disagree with some of your comments. I worked for Kelly's and lasted two months. I didn't botch a single job, in fact I completed every job to the highest standards and never had a single audit failure. I have always been a dedicated professional and spent 15 years working for Ericsson's commissioning digital exchanges which I can assure you is way more technical and highly skilled. My problem was Kelly's had me working in rural areas, farms etc and it was impossible to make a living. The majority of poles were joint user and I could spend up to 3 hours waiting for a hoist to complete five minutes work, and if that wasn't bad enough I would spend hours climbing carrier poles to connect one customer to the DP before even starting the internal fit. A living can be had if you're fortunate to work in built up areas but if you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere then its almost impossible. I agree with some of your comments tho, I too have worked with lazy incompetents that lasted five minutes on the job,. but to say that the guys that last a couple of months are whingers and moaners and have nothing better to to do than complain is wrong.
